SEOUL, July 1 (Reuters) - North Korea has no intention to "examine" South Korea's Hyundai Group chief's plan to visit the North's Mount Kumgang, the country's foreign ministry said in a statement on Saturday. Hyundai Group Chairwoman Hyun Jeong-eun has been seeking to visit North Korea in August and submitted applications to South Korea's unification ministry, Yonhap news agency reported on Friday, citing an unnamed official at the ministry. Hyundai's late founder, Chung Ju-Yung, was born in North Korea. Mount Kumgang is on North Korea’s east coast near the demilitarised zone separating the two countries. North Korea has long rejected criticism of its rights conditions as part of a plot to overthrow its rulers.

SEOUL—North Korea fired about 130 artillery shells off its west and east coasts on Monday, as the U.S. and its allies pressure the Kim regime to abandon its weapons programs. The artillery shells were fired at around 2:59 p.m. from Kumgang county, which lies north of the heavily fortified demilitarized zone, and Jangsan Cape located on the country’s west coast, the military in Seoul said. The artillery firings involved multiple rocket launchers and splashed into the maritime buffer zones north of the Northern Limit Line, a disputed inter-Korean maritime border.

Rason a fost declarată zonă economică specială. Kumgang a fost un complex turistic, care, de altfel, a și fost închis în 2008. Zona economică specială Rason urma să permită instalarea unor companii rusești și chineze, dar și primirea de turiști. Cu toate acestea, zona are mai multe avantaje, în special poziția sa geografică: este situată între China, Rusia și Coreea și are propriul port.
